This is why Lions practice was canceled today. Entire Lions team addressing media outside the building to discuss the shooting of Jacob Blake.

“Football is not important today.” -Duron Harmon
S Duron Harmon is speaking on the mic. “The Detroit Lions organization is going to take a stand that what happened to Jacob Blake is not okay... We are going to speak out on it until we create change.”
Trey Flowers says this is the team’s message. Wants to see the same unity from everyone that the team is displaying in this demonstration.
Taylor Decker: The fear and pain that people I love and care about are going through is not okay. “I want better for my brothers, for my teammates... Change needs to happen.”
Duron Harmon closes out the demonstration: “We’ll do everything we can to win football games, but we’ll also do everything we can to create change.”
